Sometimes the days feel like a whirlwind. The hours fly by - morning soon becomes night and before you know it, it's time for bed. Several times a week I catch myself working way too late (working from home, it's easy to do), which leaves me little time to unwind and have some "me" time. One thing that would help me relax after a busy day would be a cozy little nook where I could curl up with a glass of wine or cup of tea and a good book. Sometimes we all just need to take a moment and step outside our life to reflect and regroup. Do you have a place where you can retreat to when you need an escape? Please share :)

Is it really Monday already?! I had a great weekend visiting with my best girlfriend in her brand new home (spent lots of time testing out paint colors :) Did you have a nice weekend? Hope so! Anyway, please stop by again sometime tomorrow or another day this week because I'm hosting another exciting giveaway! Details to be announced tomorrow. Enjoy your day!

I'm just about to take off and head up the coast near Santa Barbara to visit my best girlfriend. I'm so looking forward to lots of girl talk and lots of wine :) I've gathered up tons of gorgeous interior photos to bring you a little happiness and inspiration today. I don't know about you, but looking at beautiful spaces really gives me a boost and puts a smile on my face! I wish you a very happy weekend hope to meet you here again next week. Au revoir! xoxo - Julie

Cox & Cox is my new favorite online shop! They're based out of Somerset, England and have been around for several years...so how is it that I just discovered them for the first time today?! They offer a unique variety of everything from home decor and gardening, to wedding decor and paper goods. What I love most about their website are the gorgeous photographs of each item - so much inspiration! "Cox & Cox embraces the heartfelt philosophy that it is possible to create a home that is both beautiful and practical, offering a fresh escape from the norm. The product range has influences from all over the globe and takes inspiration from childhood memories, but often with a contemporary twist." What do you think?
